Hockey
Hockey has moved from recreation and entertainment into full-blown obsession at the Perkins household. Brian had a house league game in the afternoon. Brian was instructed to sweep the floor and did it “his way.” And then we went off to the New Jersey Devils at Carolina Hurricanes game at PNC Arena. The ‘Canes won 3-1 capping off a great hockey...

The annual ‘Canes Alumni Game came around right before our trip to the beach. Kendall, Brian, and myself went as Alison was wanting to get things finished up around the house before we left.
